Mastering the Art of Italian Cooking

For those who wish to delve deeper into the culinary arts, the Pasta & Tiramisu Class offers a hands-on experience that is both educational and indulgent. Available on December 8th, with sessions in the morning and afternoon, this class invites you to roll up your sleeves and learn the secrets of Italian pasta-making. Under the guidance of your Cesarina, you’ll craft two types of pasta from scratch and perfect the art of tiramisu, Italy’s beloved dessert.

The class is more than just a cooking lesson; it’s a cultural exchange. As you knead dough and layer mascarpone, stories are shared, and friendships are forged. The aroma of simmering sauces fills the air, mingling with the laughter of fellow participants. This is a celebration of Italian hospitality, where every dish tells a story and every bite is a testament to the love and care that goes into home-cooked meals.

“A Delicious & Delightful cooking class! Ana and Luigi were the most hospitable hosts we have experienced! They welcomed us into their home like family! It was fun to chop up tomatoes, onions and celery with Ana for the tomato sauce! The preparation for gnocchi gave us more appreciation for that pasta!” — Reviewed on 2024-10-01
